Article Abstract

Background And Purpose: This study aims to analyze the gap between the number of radiologist jobs listed in a single major US job posting center and the number of anticipated graduating general diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology trainees through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) as a primary source of radiologists to fulfill radiologist workforce needs.

Materials And Methods: Job listings between 2014 and 2023 from a single large US radiology job listing source were collected for the total number of unique annual job listings, divided amongst neuroradiology-only, some component of neuroradiology, and no component of neuroradiology. NRMP data were collected for postgraduate year-2 (PGY-2) Diagnostic Radiology Residency and Neuroradiology Fellowship Match to estimate the number of general radiologists and neuroradiologists in the training pipeline graduating in the corresponding job listing year. The difference between the number of job listings and anticipated graduating trainees was calculated and extrapolated for the future.

Results: Between 2014 and 2023, 31,825 jobs were listed in the American College of Radiology Career Center with 10,180 anticipated diagnostic radiology residency graduates during the same time period, for a 10-year cumulative deficit of 21,645 anticipated diagnostic radiology graduates. For neuroradiology-only jobs, the mismatch between job listings and anticipated fellowship-trained neuroradiologists was 2748 jobs to 1933 graduates. For all jobs, the mismatch between anticipated radiology training graduates and job listings grew over this time period.

Conclusions: There is a growing mismatch between diagnostic radiology job listings on a major job listing board compared with the anticipated pipeline of general radiologists and neuroradiologists entering training through the NRMP. This mismatch between the current growing need for radiologists and the training pipeline may help inform practice and training leaders seeking to mitigate the radiologist shortage.

Mental health nurses (MHNs) face unique occupational challenges, including high emotional demands, frequent exposure to workplace violence, and risk of burnout. Social support is widely recognised as a protective factor that can enhance well-being and job satisfaction in this high-stress profession. In this research, social support is defined as the emotional, informational, and instrumental assistance that MHNs receive from interpersonal relationships in the workplace, such as from colleagues, immediate supervisors, and informal peer networks.

Background: The literature provides contradictory information on the effect of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions on return to work (RTW) for patients on sick leave due to work-related stress.

Aim: We compared the cumulative number of sick leave weeks between a cohort of patients who received a CBT-based stress management intervention in the period 2011-2018 (N = 331) and a cohort of patients from 2010 to 2011 (N = 221) who did not receive the intervention. We also compared time until sustainable RTW (3 consecutive months of no sick registrations) between the cohorts.
